Stalemate is good news for Wharfedale

Wharfedale were left satisfied to take the three points in an entertaining game.

Clever midfield orchestration by James Shanahan produced three home tries, the first coming from Terry Adams, before he was followed over by Richard Gregg and Johannes Lombard – all converted by Gregg.

But the visitors hit back, with hooker Ian Larking eventually being driven over in the corner.

Wharfedale confirmed their growing supremacy when winger Simon Horsfall strolled over an unattended blind-side at the re-set set-piece to bring them to 
21-13.

Gregg succeeded with a penalty early after the break. But the hosts were now under pressure at the set-piece and Aaron Myers forced his way over twice, first from a close scrum and then a penalty line-out. Although Gregg sandwiched a penalty between Davidson’s two conversions, the teams remained level at 27-27.
